From KentG: 28mm Crusades cavalry & English civil war 28mm regiment of Foote (310pts)

Kicking of this week with 6 Templars cav by Perry Miniatures 
They are metals and I had so much fun painting them




Next up another five  knights and a couple of clergy but this time
Generic mix I think I’m getting addicted to painting these shields
They are. A challenge but at the same time so satisfying when they are finished


Here’s a couple of close ups of a few shields 






This is the last of the clergy boxset, I think these will be a great addition 
To some game scenario’s 


Next up is commission where the chap said just do what you want so I chose 
John Talbots regiment of Foote
Simply wanted to have another crack at yellow 


The regiments made up of 8 pike 4 command figures and 24
Shot sorry I forgot to take a pic of them all together.



Really pleased with my new crack at the yellow

The customer isn’t to keen on flowers or grass tufts



The figures are all renegade miniatures 
Sadly you can’t get these anymore because they are 
So nice to paint up.






             So let’s total up the weeks points

             36 x 28mm infantry @ 5pts each  = 180 pts
             13 x 28mm cavalry well ones a donkey @10pts = 130
              Total of 310pts


From Millsy:

Another gorgeous crop of quality metalwork Kent!

The Perry crusaders are glorious and the clergy are something you don't see very often. Little vignettes like this are what bumps a wargame table beyond the norm into the realms of something special.

Talbot's regiment is like looking through a window from my gaming past. I have the exact same miniatures painted up for Talbot's regiment too. I've always liked mixing poses into a until and the standing / loading minis add a real sense of a point in time during a battle.

Lovely work mate and another hefty chunk of points for your tally!

Cheers,
Millsy

  2. Very nicely done. what paints did you use for Talbot's jacket colours? Comes out as a very nicely 'worn' yellow.

    1. Hey Bart the yellow is English uniform, then Japanese uniform the 50/50 Japanese uniform and flat yellow then added a little white into the last mix for some small amount of highlights, probably could have not done the English uniform looking back, then I lightly washed th yellow with citadel sepia wash and the used ultra matt varnish brushed on removing any pools of the liquid so I didn't get any pooling. seems like a lot but it's actual quite quick to do

    1. Cheers, not every shield looks that good to start with sometimes the hand isn't quite as steady but this round of shields just worked first time which made it a bit more fun

    1. thanks Moiterei, the black is actually quite easy now that I've worked the shades out, flat back over a black undercoat, the German grey and lastly dark grey works every time which makes life easier.
